Step-By-Step: Reverse Sunset Tutorial

This is the perfect summer look for anyone who likes to play with color, especially if you happen to have hazel or brown eyes. With summer here, it’s the ideal look for adding a perfect pop of color to your look. Perfect for the office or a day out with friends, this eye-catching creation is sure to become a quick favorite and one your will go back to time and time again. The simple elegance of this look is easy to do! So grab your eyeshadows and let’s get started!

Step 1: First with a small dome brush, like the Makeup Geek Soft Dome Brush, apply Shimma Shimma to the inner corner of the eye, dragging it upwards into the crease. This helps to brighten the lid, open the eye, and make the eye seem bigger.

Step 4: Then, with a small dome shaped brush like the Makeup Geek Outer V Brush, apply the vivid color Poolside to the outer v section of the eye. Remember not to blend the lines between Sea Mist and Poolside.

Step 5: With a pencil brush or the Makeup Geek Chisel Shader Brush, add a touch of Corrupt to darken the crease ever so slightly. The chisel brush will give you a more defined cut crease look.

Step 6: Now it’s time for that pop of intensity! Apply Razzleberry to the outer corner of the lower lashline coming in 3/4 of the way.

Step 7: Now add the Mandarine where the Razzleberry ended and bring in the rest of the way. Make sure you blend the lines where the Razzleberry and Mandarine meet.

Step 9: Line the lash line with gel liner creating a winged out effect for extra drama. For a great alternative to the gel liner, use a mixing medium or a drop of contact solution with Makeup Geek’s Corrupt.

There you have it, the perfect summer look, and a great way to add color to your wardrobe. For your blue or green eyed babes, don’t pass this stunning look up. With so many colors to choose from you can mix and match any shade you desire to create your very own personalized look!

I really do like makeupgeek- but its getting kind of annoying when you never give any other options to the eye shadows like you used to. (i.e. giving the mac names of shadows, then cheaper alternatives such as NYX) I can’t help but think this is happening now because MUG has their own (amazing!) products now. Just would like some alternatives, that’s all :)
keep up the good work!

Actually, I really love your brows! How did you do that? I have a similar shape and thickness, and am always trying to achieve that neat and not obviously drawn-in look. What products did you use, and how did you do it?
